The show in your hands
Stranger Things is a great show, but if you’ve got a need for more than what there is, what can you do? You can start by playing this official game companion to the third season of the hit series.
Immerse yourself in the story
Exploring the world of your favorite show can be tricky, but in this game, it can be downright dangerous.
Basing a game off a television show or movie isn’t an easy task, but Stranger Things has succeeded at it nonetheless. With their official third season companion game, you jump into that world to take control of one of twelve fan-favorite characters, solve puzzles, and so much more.
As you travel around, you’ll occasionally need to engage an enemy in combat. Fortunately, this is easy. You'll just need to ensure that you use your special ability at the right moment to achieve victory. Of course, each special ability will vary according to the character that you choose to be.
There are 12 different heroes from the cast for you to unlock and collect. At the start of the game, you’ll only have access to Mike and Lucas, but with these two, it won’t be long before you acquire more. You’ll also discover a few showcases of events that happened in the series while playing, so do be wary of spoilers.
The game is styled to have an old-fashioned and retro role-playing game feeling. This is amazing, given that action is constant and consistent. However, this does come at the cost of repetitive backgrounds and locations. The lack of both details and similar areas dulls the game and creates an uninspired sense about it.
Where can you run this program?
This game is available for IOS 11.0 and up, as well as Android 4.4 and newer.
Is there a better alternative?
No. This is the best app out there for fans of the Stranger Things show. If you’re looking for a retro-styled adventure though, there are other titles such as Dragon Fantasy worth considering.

Should you download it?
Yes. If you’re a fan of the sensational Stranger Things series, then this game is a must-play. It offers a selection of features for all fans to enjoy.
